Elsevier - The Ancient Human Occupation of Britain Book

Explore the history of early human presence in Britain through this comprehensive academic volume. Based on the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain Project (AHOB) funded by the Leverhulme Trust, this work presents research that began in 2001 to investigate human activity from the earliest known occupation until the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 12,000 years ago. This book provides a detailed look at how changes in climate, landscape, and biota over the last million years shaped the environment. By examining these environmental factors alongside the development of new technologies, the text offers a clear view of why humans were present or absent in certain regions during this period. It serves as a vital resource for students and researchers in Earth Sciences and higher education, bringing together multidisciplinary findings into one cohesive study of Britain's prehistoric past.
